A Legend of the Seas
The Rainbow, designed by Starling Burgess and funded by magnate Harold Vanderbilt, is one of the most iconic yachts in America's Cup history.
Built in 1934, it was conceived to defend the trophy against the British challenger Endeavour.
With an innovative design and a lightweight yet sturdy structure, the Rainbow represented the pinnacle of nautical technology of its time, combining speed, maneuverability, and elegance.
The America's Cup, the Oldest Competition in the World
The America's Cup is the oldest international sailing competition, inaugurated in 1851.
It is named after the schooner America, which won the first race around the Isle of Wight in England.
The competition features yachts of the highest technological level and requires a combination of nautical skills, engineering innovation, and strategy.
Winning the America's Cup is considered one of the greatest accolades in the sailing world, symbolizing excellence and prestige in yacht design and racing.
